Thermolator TW-1 and TW-2

UGH015/0100

O

PERATION

Before starting the Thermolator, verify that the system has
been installed correctly for your application. 

See the

I

NSTALLATION

section.

If Passcode Protection has been enabled, you must enter the
correct passcode before you can change or enter any of the
operating parameters, including the temperature setpoint.

Turn on the water supply to the Thermolator.

The supply must be at least 25 psi. Check for leaks in the
cooling water and process fluid lines before continuing.

Turn on main power to the Thermolator.

The control initiates a brief self test. 

Indicator lights blink green, then red.

Setpoint and actual windows will display            for

three seconds, followed by the software version. The
windows then display the factory default setpoint of
100° F and the actual temperature.

Enter the passcode,
if necessary. 

Hold the

Setpoint Select button for 5 
seconds. When the control 
displays 1 PaS, use the setpoint
adjustment buttons to enter the
passcode. Press the Setpoint
Select button again.

Enter the temperature
setpoint. 

Press the Setpoint

Select button until the green
light appears next to
Temperature.  Press 

to

increase or 

to decrease the

temperature setting.

Press         to start normal operation.

The RUN/STOP light turns green.

The unit initiates a 60-second venting sequence.

Cooling and venting valves are active for 60 seconds.
The pump is active for the final 30 seconds.

Normal operation begins. The heater turns on when the

actual temperature is below setpoint. The cooling valve
turns on if the actual temperature is above the setpoint.

If the Alarm light turns on

, press         to silence the option-

al audible alarm. Then 

see the

IMPORTANT:

If you are

operating the Thermolator
for the first time since
installation, you should 
perform an Auto Tune after
two hours of normal opera-
tion. You should perform the
Auto Tune periodically to
ensure that the control cor-
rectly calculates how much
heat and cooling should be
applied to maintain the
process setpoint. 

See

“Performing an Auto
Tune.”
